In
celebration of the 400th anniversary of the founding of our
Vincentian charism, over 11,000 members of the International Vincentian Family
gathered in Rome on October 12 for 4 days of meetings and worship. The highlight was a Papal Audience on October
14, 2017. The Pope spoke about our
charities being born of the tenderness and compassion of St. Vincent for the
poor and marginalized. Six staff members
of the Association of the Miraculous Medal in Perryville, Missouri, were
blessed to attend this special event.
